Vine­yard nets tro­phy hat-trick

SOUTH­ERN Tas­ma­nian wine pro­ducer Bream Creek Vine­yard has taken out a hat­trick of tro­phies at in­ter­na­tional wine shows.

The Du­nal­ley wine maker was recog­nised in Europe and Asia for its Chardon­nay and Pinot Noir va­ri­eties.

Bream Creek claimed best white wine of show at the In­ter­na­tional Wine Com­pe­ti­tion in Aus­tria, the largest recog­nised show in the world where more than 12,000 wines for 1716 pro­duc­ers in 39 coun­tries were en­tered. It also won best Chardon­nay up to 12.9 per cent al­co­hol and best Pinot Noir at Hong Kong In­ter­na­tional Wine and Spirit Com­pe­ti­tion.

Vigneron Fred Pea­cock said the suc­cess on the world stage was “quite in­cred­i­ble”.

“These re­sults in in­ter­na­tional com­pe­ti­tions pro­vide a strong en­dorse­ment of the great qual­ity of the wines we are pro­duc­ing in Tas­ma­nia.”
